The objective of Part 19, Chapter 1 is to establish standards and procedures for funding programs under the Violence Intervention Program Fund Act. These standards and procedures are designed for the purpose of making funds available to administer the provisions of the Violence Intervention Program Act and award violence intervention program grants to state agencies, counties, municipalities or tribal governments that the department finds are disproportionately impacted by violent crimes, including homicides, shootings and aggravated assaults, and develop standards pertaining to the collection and sharing of data by grantees. This rule will inform eligible agencies and stakeholders of the procedures to access funds. The department of health through the injury and behavioral epidemiology bureau, will administer the fund pursuant to the Violence Intervention Program Fund Act and this rule.
